Overview of FSUK
‘To put everything into one sentence. FSUK has positively changed my life in a time of darkness and I will forever be indebted to the charity for this. Thank you.’
Sam, Fowler’s Fox, 2022
Fowler’s Syndrome UK (Registered Charity number 1196903) is a unique patient and clinician led charity that works to raise awareness, promote education and encourage research into the debilitating bladder condition Fowler’s Syndrome. The condition solely affects women and Fowler’s Syndrome UK (FSUK) is the only charity in the world to directly support women with this condition.
Fowler’s syndrome is a life changing and currently almost untreatable condition, affecting up to 20,000 women in the UK. It causes full or partial urinary retention and solely affects women*, meaning they have problems passing urine due to a difficulty in relaxing the urinary sphincter. The peak age of onset is 26. It was first described by Professor Clare Fowler, Emeritus professor of Uro-Neurology at UCLh, and FSUK’s patron, in 1985.
We estimate that there are in excess of 20,000 women in the UK suffering from, but not necessarily diagnosed with, the condition, because of the lack of knowledge about Fowler’s Syndrome both from a patient and clinician perspective.
85% of women with Fowler’s Syndrome say the condition has had a severe or devastating impact on their life.
75% of those with FS have been told their urinary symptoms are due to anxiety or ‘all in their head’
There is low awareness of the condition among the medical community outside of specialist hospitals. Only an estimated 30% of GPs are aware of Fowler’s Syndrome. Once diagnosed, there are few resources available for patients and limited treatment options. Many women feel alone and unsupported.
Our mission is to provide resources, promote education and facilitate research into Fowler’s syndrome; so women with the condition have stigma free access to a timely diagnosis, suitable and effective treatment options, care and psychological support.

Why work for Results and IPNEd
Like you, we're passionate about ending poverty. We’re a small, collaborative organisation that has a big impact. We just do advocacy - we don’t run programmes. The experience you gain with us sets you up for a career in international development. Below are a few of the benefits of joining us, in addition to the salary, pension and annual leave outlines at the top of this document.
Work-life balance
- We offer flexible working so you can manage work around your own needs.
- Hybrid working means you don’t have to be trapped in a long commute every day and don’t have to be London based.
- Staff members have their birthdays off as a bonus day of leave and we close the office between Christmas and new year so you don’t need to take leave.
- We subscribe to the Bupa employee advice line – free confidential access to financial and legal advisors as well as telephone and online counselling sessions.
- In addition we run training on mental health at work and have named mental health first aiders who can be contacted in confidence if you would like help finding support.
- All staff have the opportunity to join working groups outside of their work areas according to their interests and are encouraged to pursue professional development opportunities.
- Our staff wellbeing team explores how we can improve our staff wellbeing - most recently publishing a comprehensive guide - and reviews what we have done to date.
Anti-oppression
- We offer half a day’s anti-oppression learning leave each year
- As well as making reasonable adjustments, we support our staff in making applications to the Access to Work scheme to get additional equipment where needed.
- We offer disability leave for disabled colleagues to manage specific needs they may have without having to give up their holidays.
- We have a staff working group on anti-oppression which helps to develop our work on anti-oppression and identify gaps in our current work.
Partnerships
- Results UK hosts three other organisations, including IPNEd, working on specific aspects of global health and education, so you benefit from other perspectives and get an in-depth understanding of other work going on in the sector.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
At Results UK, we believe in equality, diversity and inclusion, and that these should be the norm. As well as this being an issue of equality and fairness, we recognise that diverse and inclusive organisations are some of the most productive and impactful.
As an organisation, we are aware of the under-representation of certain groups and communities in the international development sector that are often closest to the issues we work on. These include - but are certainly not limited to - people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities, refugees, people with disabilities and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
We want to change this and are committed to playing our part as an organisation. As a committed equal opportunities employer, we actively welcome applications from people of a wide range of backgrounds, skills and abilities, recognising the value that these different perspectives bring to our organisation.
